Fall Clothes

Although we are are in the middle of one crazy heat wave I am starting to prepare for fall.  Malone will go back to school after Labor Day at First Baptist Church for 3 days a week.  I have started buying her some new fall clothes and shoes.  Last year at this time Malone was still able to wear many of the same clothes from the year before because she did not have a big growth spurt and was in the same size.  However, this year she has grown quite a bit (especially her height) and none of her clothes from last year fit.  So, I feel like we are starting from scratch and creating a whole new wardrobe.  Amazingly, at the age of 3, Malone is VERY opinionated about her clothes and shoes.  If I pick out something she does not like she lets me know or throws a temper tantrum from not wanting to wear that outfit.  Wow!  Where does she get that from?!?! :)  Here is an outfit and pair of shoes that we have added to her new fall wardrobe.  So far she approves of both of these items.

Jagger, on the other hand, is set.  We started buying clothes for him when I was pregnant.  Justin has picked out several outfits for him that are super cute and are all boy.  We have flannel shirts and cargo pants, and we have some super cute shoes also.  Here is a picture of one of the outifts we have for Jagger (except his is not short sleeved but looks like it has a layered brown long sleeved tee under it). 

 I love shopping for clothes and have much more fun shopping for my kids than I do for myself.  However, I recently went through my closet for a yard sale and most of my winter stuff got tossed.  My rule of thumb is if I have not worn it in a year then it goes to the yard sale pile.  Since I was pregnant last fall and winter I did not buy any new clothes for that season.  So hopefully this year I can add some cute, up to date, stylish fall/winter pieces to my wardrobe.  However, I struggle finding fall/winter clothes that I really like and think are super cute.  Since I tend to freeze in the winter I want to be practical and dress warmly.  Maybe I can find a cute compromise between practical and stylish.  :)  Happy Fall Clothes Shopping to you too!!!
